Chapter 196: Chapter 194: Hot Potato

Three days later, at the Yi Family Mansion in Cangxuan City, in the audience hall, Yi Zhantian was anxiously waiting. It wasn’t long before two Yi Family Members walked in from outside the door.

One of them said dejectedly, "Reporting to the Family Head, the Tang Family Patriarch Tang Benchuan from Ruize City has replied."

Yi Zhantian hurriedly asked, "What did he say?"

"Replying to the Family Head, the Tang Family Patriarch does not want the White Jade Arhat."

Yi Zhantian turned his gaze to the other person and asked, "What about the Zhu Family in Luosong City?"

"Replying to the Family Head, the Zhu Family also does not want the White Jade Arhat."

"Sigh..."

Yi Zhantian sighed, "Who would have thought that the White Jade Arhat, which everyone fought over in the past, has today become a hot potato that no one wants even if given for free? Can anyone tell me what on earth has happened..."

The Zhu Family and Tang Family dared not accept the White Jade Arhat because Yan Rufeng had already warned both families. Although the Tang and Zhu Families initially scoffed at Yan Rufeng’s warning, with Yan Rufeng’s temperament, it was easy to imagine that she must have used thunderous means against them. Otherwise, why would both families refuse the White Jade Arhat, especially knowing that the White Jade Arhat was the only token for the Dragon Abyss Sect’s disciple selection?

As the time for the Dragon Abyss Sect’s disciple selection approached, with the White Jade Arhat still in the Yi Family, these past few days Yi Zhantian felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, anxious every day...

Just one day before the Dragon Abyss Sect’s disciple selection, a commanding voice echoed above the Yi Family Mansion.

"Yi Family Members, listen! Hand over the White Jade Arhat and come out to meet your death."

Hearing this, the Yi Family rushed to grab their weapons and soon gathered together, standing behind Yi Zhantian and Yi Mu.

The terrified Yi Zhantian, seeing no one after glancing around, cupped his hands towards the empty air and said, "Senior, the White Jade Arhat is right here. If you want it, I, Yi Zhantian, can offer it with both hands. Please do not harm members of the Yi Family and spare our clan."

"Ha ha..."

The old voice laughed heartily, "Yi Family brat, this time I’ve come down the mountain mainly to eradicate your Yi Family. Do you think I will spare you?"

Yi Zhantian shivered in fear, his hairs standing on end. He quickly said, "Senior, this junior does not understand. How did we, the Yi Family, offend you to the point that you want to annihilate our entire clan?"

"Why? Yu, you tell him!"

"Yi Zhantian, stop pretending!"

Suddenly, a voice shouted loudly, and soon someone jumped out and landed in front of Yi Zhantian.

"Liu... Liu Yu!" Yi Zhantian’s heart sank.

"How could it be you?"

"That’s right, it’s me."

Liu Yu raised his head proudly, "Yi Zhantian, you didn’t expect Liu Yu to come back, did you?"

Yi Mu glared angrily and stepped forward, "Liu Yu, have you forgotten how you left our Yi Family that day?"

"Ha ha..."

Liu Yu laughed, "Little kid, if you didn’t mention that day, I might have forgotten. Without Yan Rufeng, let’s see how you Yi Family members die in front of me, Liu Yu."

"Liu Yu, stop being arrogant!"

Yi Mu shouted, leaping forward and immediately unsheathing her Flying Sword.

"Mumu, stop." Yi Zhantian shouted.

Yi Mu did not retract the Flying Sword but said, "Father, we are at a life-and-death moment. As a Cultivator, how can I keep tolerating the provocations of a mere mortal?"

Yi Zhantian said helplessly, "Mumu, you are right, but would Liu Yu dare come to our Yi Family if he wasn’t prepared?"

With reddened eyes, Yi Mu said firmly, "Father, today, don’t blame me for not following your orders."

"Ha ha..."

Hearing Yi Mu’s words, Liu Yu laughed towards the sky.

"Girl, don’t you know? Today, in the presence of my family’s ancestor, even if you are a Cultivator, so what?"

"So what?"

A murderous intent flashed in Yi Mu’s eyes as she said sternly, "Today, I will take your life!"

"Zing..."

The Flying Sword suspended in front of Yi Mu shot forward in a whoosh, piercing through Liu Yu’s chest.

Liu Yu’s eyes widened. He gently raised his hand, touching the wound made by the Flying Sword, looking at Yi Mu in disbelief.

"Impossible, how did you release the Flying Sword in front of my family’s ancestor?"

With Liu Yu’s body pierced by the Flying Sword, not only did Liu Yu find it unbelievable, but Yi Mu also doubted, thinking, "Where is the Liu Family’s ancestor? Why didn’t he intervene?"

"Ha ha..."

Liu Yu laughed wildly, "Ancestor, I never thought you too would want me dead. But why let me die at the hands of Yi Family members, why let me die so shamefully..."

"It’s not that your ancestor wants you dead, but that he is also going to die..."

"Young Master Yan’s voice?"

"Hee hee!"

Yi Mu was secretly delighted, thinking, "Didn’t he leave? Why did he suddenly appear at our Yi Family..."

"Thud!"

After a muffled sound, they saw an old man in white robes being thrown down in front of Liu Yu from high above.

"Ancestor, what happened to you?" Yi Zhantian shouted.

"Pfft..."

The old man in white robes spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "I’ve been terribly harmed by you, and you have the nerve to ask me what happened. Why did you hide from me that the Yi Family has a powerful helper?"

"What, Yan Rufeng is a strong Cultivator? Even the ancestor is not his match? How is this possible? Moreover, didn’t Yan Rufeng leave?"

Liu Yu had no time to think deeply and hurriedly said, "Ancestor, I..."

"Don’t call me ancestor! The Liu Family has no such unfilial descendants like you!" The old man in white robes shouted angrily.

"Ha ha..."

Liu Yu laughed hysterically.

"Yan Rufeng, I never thought my Liu Family would be destroyed by you today..."

Moments later, Liu Yu’s expression changed, and he stopped laughing. He shouted angrily, "Yan Rufeng, you damned coward, show yourself if you have the guts! I’ll kill you..."

"Yan Rufeng again?"

Yi Zhantian wondered aloud, "I didn’t expect Young Master Yan to return. But who is he really? Why does he help the Yi Family..."

Yan Rufeng, who was meditating in mid-air, floated down effortlessly and stood in front of Liu Yu, with his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "Liu Yu, I am here. Come kill me if you can."

"Ha ha..."

"A Cultivator, Yan Rufeng, I know you are a Cultivator. I can’t kill you, I can’t kill you!"

Standing in front of Yan Rufeng, Liu Yu laughed as he retreated, but suddenly, murderous intent surged in Liu Yu’s eyes. He swiftly drew the sabre from his waist and charged towards Yan Rufeng.

He shouted, "Yan Rufeng, die!"

The Liu Family’s ancestor quickly released his Flying Sword and said sternly, "Liu Yu, if you take one more step, I’ll cut you down!"

Liu Yu froze on the spot and asked, "Ancestor, why are you stopping me?"

"Heh heh!"

The Liu Family’s ancestor sneered disdainfully, "Stop you? Don’t flatter yourself. I’m doing this to save the Liu Family."
